Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 148: The Sleeping Warrior
The dazzling light continued to rotate at the top of the hall, eventually forming a small vortex.
The light emanating from the vortex makes people feel warm.
Faintly, everyone heard low singing coming from the whirlpool.
The vortex kept spinning, and the hole in the center grew bigger and bigger. In the astonished eyes of everyone, a brilliant starry sky appeared behind the hole!
They passed right through the barriers on the castle and saw the Star Palace most clearly.
Pisces.
It consists of a total of two hundred and forty-seven stars.
This story, which only existed in rumors, was presented to everyone.
The vortex keeps spinning.
Finally, the light merged into a spot of light, slowly descended, and merged into Marvin's brow.
"What happened?"
Everyone stared at Marvin, concerned about his physical changes.
However, Marvin spread his hands and said, "I didn't feel anything."
Constantine said in amazement, "You are indeed quite lucky... The last time I saw a birthday wish come true was more than ten years ago."
The old blacksmith looked at Marvin deeply and said nothing.
Marvin himself was confused.
Marvin knew about praying based on the zodiac signs.
In the previous life, every player who entered Fenan had his or her own birthday. If you made a wish to the Star Palace on your birthday, you would receive a blessing for three days.
This blessing may increase an attribute by a few points, or it may directly increase attack power - some may even double the experience.
But the natives of Fenan do not have this benefit. Only a very small number of people can get a response from the Star Palace when they pray.
Marvin thought that he had traveled through time and space into the body of a native, so there should be no possibility of getting a response from Pisces.
I didn't expect Xinggong to actually respond to me.
However, the blessing he received this time was completely different from that in the game.
After the brilliant light merged into Marvin's body, there was no change on his data panel.
There is only an additional word [Blessing of Pisces (not activated)] below the character column.
He didn't know how to activate it.
However, what concerned him was that the location where this [Blessing of Pisces] appeared was exactly the same as the [Luck + 1] that appeared after the lucky elf Bending blessed him.
"Could it be that, like last time, some special conditions are required to trigger it?"
This is what Ma Wen guessed in his mind.
But no matter what, it is definitely a good thing to get the blessing of Pisces.
Everyone celebrated and amidst the lively shouts of "Happy Birthday", Marvin spent his first birthday in Fenan.
At least before 12 o'clock that night, he did nothing except chatting with friends and resting.
He took a nap on the sofa in the hall.
I've been really exhausted during this period.
…
In the makeshift camp on the coast, a girl in a cloth skirt sat on a high rock, hugged her knees, and stared blankly at the west.
Just now, she saw with her own eyes a ball of brilliant light descending from the Pisces constellation and landing not far away.
Pisces.
"So today is his birthday." Laura thought quietly.
After today, Neptune will dominate the Central Star Palace.
A man came over quietly and sat next to her.
"It's rare to see you silent." The Elf Prince also saw the dazzling light.
As a legend, his perception is much higher than that of ordinary people.
"It's been about three years since Pisces Palace has sent down its blessing. Marvin is a very special person."
He said so.
Laura nodded, she seemed a little depressed.
"Are you upset that you can't say happy birthday to him in person?"
It was rare for Ibrahimovic to take the initiative to talk to Laura.
Considering how much the Elf Prince hates women, his attitude towards Laura is simply amazing.
Maybe she is the kind of girl who, although she talks a lot, is really hard to dislike.
"In fact, everything I said to those sailors was false. I was deceiving them."
Laura turned her face away and avoided the topic: "I'm not a business executive in the White River Valley at all. I'm just a liar."
"To Lord Marvin, I am probably just a character like this. So insignificant."
"He chose to believe me simply because he felt that everyone should have a chance to be forgiven."
"I always mess things up. I can't even do a good job of buying food. I'm really worthless."
Ibrahimovic was silent for a while.
He patted Laura’s shoulder gently: “You are wrong.”
“If you fail to do something well, it’s not because you have no value, but because there is no one or environment that can help you realize your value.”
"And Marvin, he chose to believe you not just for this reason. I think the more fundamental reason is that he believes you are a kind girl."
"This world is a mess, and the strong cannot protect everyone, so for many weak people, lying has become an essential life skill."
"If you want to survive, you have to lie, right?"
Before Ibrahimovic could finish his words, the girl next to him began to cry silently.
"You're right. Actually, I don't want to be a liar..."
"My father passed away when I was very young..."
"When my mother was dying, she told me to live on. But what could I do? A rural girl like me didn't have any life skills... An elder sister who grew up with me sold me to a brothel. I tried every possible way to escape."
"Then I started to trust no one. I started to lie to people. Only in this way could I survive."
"I'm not as good at fighting as you or Lord Marvin. I can't even protect myself."
"What's the point of people like us living in this world with such difficulty?"
Lola asked Ibrahimovic while choking.
The Elf Prince shook his head, and then said firmly: "Everyone in this world is meaningful as long as they are alive."
"My father told me this when I was very young. He is the most powerful man in the world."
"So you must believe what he says."
Laura nodded confusedly with tears in her eyes.
She may not even know what the concept of Ibrahimovic's father is like.
However, these words are the greatest comfort to her now.
"Thank you, Master Ibrahimovic."
She asked cautiously: "But why did you take the initiative to talk to me today?"
"Don't you dislike women?"
Ibrahimovic was amused at the sudden look of vigilance in Laura's eyes.
He smiled, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes:
"Because sometimes, I am also bored. I also wonder what the purpose of my life is."
Laura said seriously: “But you are so good at fighting, and you have a father who is so good to you.”
Ibrahimovic was silent: "After I was ten years old, he never said anything positive to me."
Laura stared at Ibrahimovic in a daze, and suddenly patted Ibrahimovic on the shoulder.
"Don't be so sad, okay? At least you are so handsome."
"Do you know the story of Pisces? If you don't, I can tell you a little bit."
"Legend has it that in the earliest times, there were no such things as constellations in this world. Constellations only came into being after Lord Lance came. And Pisces was created by him casually..."
The sea breeze was very strong, and the girl's voice was gradually blown away by the wind.
As the night deepened, the Pisces constellation in the sky flashed its last ray of light, and was eventually replaced by the more domineering Neptune in the central star palace.
Summer will be over soon.
…
Late at night, Marvin slowly opened his eyes from his bed.
He slept soundly this time.
Maybe I was too tired during this period of time, and I didn’t even feel anything when someone carried me from the restaurant to the bedroom.
Marvin rubbed his temples, trying to cheer himself up.
He put on his clothes, left the bedroom, and quickly came to where the old blacksmith lived.
It was a blacksmith's workshop.
Late at night, the old blacksmith was still working on the iron. The clanging sound was only confined to the inside of the blacksmith shop and would not affect other people's rest.
"You're here?" He seemed to have known that Marvin would come.
"You know what I want to do?" Marvin smiled.
"Of course, this group of noisy adventurers seems to have enough numbers to overthrow the ogre tribe."
"But in actual combat, their morale and cohesion are questionable. Once a few people die, they might just fall apart."
"You can't rely on the Silver Church or other outside forces to win this war, right?"
The old blacksmith twitched his eyebrows: "Even if you don't come tonight, you will definitely come tomorrow night."
"But you thought you'd have a day off."
"I've rested enough."
Marvin took a deep breath and said, "Help me open the Kingdom of Eternal Night."
"I need their help."
Xien nodded: "Indeed, they have been sleeping for too long."
"The world has changed so much since they fell asleep. I have heard a lot of news from many friends, including Ms. Hathaway."
"The world is about to change in shocking ways."
"If you have the ability, wake them up."
“They are true warriors.”
…
The next morning, a luxurious convoy slowly stopped outside the boundaries of the White River Valley.
The convoy consisted of three luxurious carriages, more than twenty high-ranking knights and more knight servants.
They were flying a flag with a half crescent moon painted on it.
Soon, an envoy responsible for delivering the message walked up to the castle in the White River Valley.
At this time, Marvin was not inside the castle.
Anna and Winnie still handle all matters.
However, after they met the envoy and heard the other party's purpose, they both said in surprise:
"Another fiancée?"
